International Press Brief
Turkish military operation in Syria
After the US withdrawal from northern Syria, Turkey has launched a military operation in the against the Syrian Democratic Forces, with fighter from the Kurdish YPG, long-standing allies of the United States. Suffering heavy casualties and lost territory, the Kurds are now negotiating support with Assad and Putin. What will be the impact of this new escalation in the Syrian conflict for Europe, the United States, and upon political and security dynamics in the Middle East?
The launch of the last phase of Operation Libertad by Juan Guaidó, which the self-named interim president believed would lead to the resignation of Nicolás Maduro, deepened the impasse in Venezuela. In Latin America, the balance of powers is played between countries, but also the impact of non-regional powers, such as USA, Russia, China and the EU.
